As we mark #InternationalWorkersDay, we're at a critical turning point. The billionaire class has launched an unprecedented attack on public services, democratic institutions & workers' rights. The time to fight back is now. Read full PSI statement: psishort.link/MayDay25

Today on May Day, labor leaders demanded action from the Salvadoran government to free Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He built a life and a @smartunionworks career here. His deportation was illegal. His imprisonment is indefensible. aflcio.org/press/releases…

On #MayDay, workers around the globe are standing up to the billionaires who are threatening our rights and freedoms. We’ll fight to protect all workers from the Trump admin’s illegal attacks on our jobs, our unions, our contracts and our freedoms. aflcio.org/press/releases…

Today is May Day, or International Workers' Day, the day that commemorates the struggles and gains made by workers and the labor movement. This year, it's an opportunity to stand up to federal attacks on workers' rights & demand CT do more to protect working people in our state.

Happy May Day/International Workers Day from the streets of Los Angeles!! #OneStruggle #OneFight #WorkersUnite #SolidarityForever #SiSePuede

1/3 On #MayDay, I joined @VTLabor and union siblings across Vermont to send one clear message: when billionaires try to divide us, we organize harder. The labor movement is alive and united in the Green Mountain State.

At its core, #MayDay is about solidarity. Workers around the globe are taking action this International Workers’ Day to stand up to the billionaires who are threatening our rights and freedoms, and America’s unions are standing with them in solidarity.

"Today, on International Workers' Day, we are not just remembering our history – we are making it! I stand before you as a proud paraeducator... here to give voice to the workers who are too often overworked, overlooked & undervalued" –Shellye Davis at New Haven #MayDay2025 rally
